Chapter 264 Turmoil
"You really don't need me to find it out for you?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "You also know how fast I can find this out."

"...Let me think about it." Li Hongzhao pondered.

Su Qiuyan remained silent.

Li Hongzhao turned his head and looked at her.

Su Qiuyan sighed: "How about we check it ourselves first?"

"Mr. Su, can you really find out?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not possible?"

Su Qiuyan said gently: "There are always clues."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If they are not sure, how can they take action? It will be difficult for you to find out in a short time."

"We can!" Li Hongzhao gritted his teeth.

She understood Su Qiuyan's concerns.

It is only one aspect that family disgrace should not be made public. I am afraid there are many secrets involved in this.

A secret that should not be known by Chu Zhiyuan.

This is the most important.

“Forget it then,” Chu Zhiyuan sighed, “I can’t even help you, this world is really…”

"Thank you so much for your kindness." Li Hongzhao said unhappily, "You are so kind-hearted!"

This Chu Zhiyuan is not a warm-hearted person, but a lazy guy who would rather avoid getting involved than get involved.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Do we still need to go to Lu Yaofeng's cave?"

"I'll go after I get the real poison-repelling beads."

"Get two real poison-repelling beads, and one for me."

"I know!" Li Hongzhao agreed readily.

She turned around with a gloomy face and left.

Chu Zhiyuan specially walked them out of the mansion and walked them all the way to the gate. He watched them disappear in the distance of the street of Prince Qing's mansion. Only after they turned the corner and left did he look away and smile.

Is this a fight for the throne, or a fight between evil masters, or some other force?
Will it unleash a bloody storm in Dameng?

It depends on the attitude of the Great Mongolian Emperor towards the Ninth Princess. His true attitude can be seen.

He could see Li Hongzhao's ambition, and he certainly couldn't hide it from the Mongol Emperor, or maybe he didn't hide it at all.

Is Da Meng really going to have a female emperor?

That’s the Great Mongolian, the martial and rugged Great Mongolian.

-

With the intention of watching the fun, he first went to the Supervisory Office and asked Ma Tian and them to keep an eye on Dameng Tianjing to see if there were any major events in Dameng Tianjing and who took action.

Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to leave, and talked about other things: "Master Ma, do you know what Da Meng used to pass messages?"

Ma Tianhe said: "Most of them are golden eagles."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "What about us?"

"We are larks, slower than them."

"Is there anything faster?"

“…Then I’m not sure.” Ma Tianhe hesitated, and finally shook his head: “The Golden Eagle should be the fastest.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Can Golden Eagle reach Tianjing from here in one day?"

Ma Tianhe shook his head and said, "The Golden Eagle should take two days. It should not be able to fly at night."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "As far as I know, they have a method of communication that can reach Tianjing in one day."

This was a secret that Li Hongzhao accidentally leaked.

She didn't feel anything.

Chu Zhiyuan thought this was very important.

How quickly a message is delivered matters a lot.

It's not just about the usual duties, but more importantly, the war orders.

"Let's check it out." Chu Zhiyuan said, "If you find this out, it will be enough for you, Master Ma, to be promoted to a higher level."

"Yes!" Ma Tianhe's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up and left.

Ma Tianhe flatteringly escorted him to the gate of the Supervisory Office and did not turn back until Chu Zhiyuan's figure completely disappeared.

-

Chu Zhiyuan thought that since he was already at the Supervisory Office, he might as well go to the Ministry of Rites for a visit.

This is to avoid the discussions below, saying that he, the prince, is lazy, neglects his work and just receives his salary in vain.

No matter how high the status of the Dajing royal family is, there will always be people who dislike them.

Some of the censors who did not seek high positions but just wanted to get by would make some critical comments, showing their sarcasm and harshness.

Not to mention that it is a common practice for the public to discuss politics, and everyone can comment on state affairs and criticize the powerful.

When Chu Zhiyuan arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Gao Lingfeng was still so busy that he didn't even have time to raise his head.

He buried his head in front of his desk, with piles of files on both sides, and clerks kept bringing them to him. The clerks saluted one after another.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, signaling them not to make any noise.

Gao Lingfeng suddenly sensed something was wrong, looked up and found it was him, hurriedly stood up from behind the desk and saluted.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and smiled, "Master Gao, you have indeed worked hard."

Gao Lingfeng smiled and said, "Why do you say that, sir? The busier I am, the happier I am."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, this is really good.

He didn't want to be busy with these government affairs and trivial matters, but Gao Lingfeng liked to deal with them.

The two of them complement each other.

"What's the big deal?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Gao Lingfeng suddenly became solemn and handed over a file with both hands.

Zou Fang stepped forward to take it, glanced at it, and then handed it to Chu Zhiyuan with both hands.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly flipped through it and frowned, "Several sects fought, where is the Zhenwu Division?"

"The Zhenwu Division has gone to suppress it, but by the time they got there, the situation was already extremely bad."

"Didn't you notice it before?"

"Someone deliberately concealed the situation. I have ordered a thorough investigation. The officials in Xunzhou City have been trying to cover up the truth. I will not let them off this time!"

"Yes, severe punishment." Chu Zhiyuan nodded, put down the file, and pondered in silence.

"Does your Excellency think it is inappropriate?"

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Several sects were fighting each other. A thousand years ago, the Great Monarch Lu Yaofeng's cave was in ruins. Didn't they find the person who spread the rumors?"

The direction of Lu Yaofeng's cave is completely different from that of Xunzhou City, so it is obviously a rumor.

Gao Lingfeng shook his head: "Too many people died, it's hard to find out the details. I guess the Zhenwu Division can only mention it briefly in the end."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "What a coincidence, I just heard about this Grandmaster's cave recently, and it spread out, and it caused such a big impact."

Could it be that Da Meng was behind this?
But Xunzhou City is not a strategic location, it is just an ordinary small city.

If it is an important town or a big city, once there is something unusual, the Zhenwu Division will react immediately.

And it’s Lu Yaofeng’s cave!

But the only person who knew about this was Li Hongzhao.

Once Li Hongzhao knows the news, he will definitely block it and not leak it.

But when I think about the fact that her anti-poison beads have been replaced by someone, I can't trust her ability to keep a secret too much.

"Master Gao, have you ever thought about why you want to spread this news in Xunzhou City?"

"Could it be that this cave is in Xunzhou City?"

"As far as I know, it's not in Xunzhou City."

"That……"

"Let's not talk about where it is, let's just talk about why such a rumor was spread."

"Sir, is this the revenge of the evil sect?"

"Not impossible."

"Da Meng's words..."

"It's not impossible."

"…I can't think of anything else."

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the setting sun in the sky and sighed, "We can't rule out any party, including Dazhen."

Gao Lingfeng's expression changed slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "There are still major sects that cannot be completely ruled out... This matter is really troublesome. Can the Zhenwu Division not handle it?"

"I don't think so."

“Then please come to the Grand Master’s Mansion.” Chu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

Gao Lingfeng hesitated.

The Grand Master's Mansion is not the Grand Master's Mansion. It cannot be easily invited. He knew that he could not invite it.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I will personally go and talk to the Grand Chancellor...First, thoroughly investigate the officials in Xunzhou City and sort it out. There may be some rats among them."

"Yes." Gao Lingfeng said solemnly.

He could imagine that if the officials in Xunzhou City experienced a major earthquake with strong winds and waves, it would be hard to imagine how many of them would survive.

Chu Zhiyuan left with his hands behind his back, pacing as he walked, thinking about the key to this.

He felt that there was a layer of mystery surrounding this matter, as if it was targeting Lu Yaofeng's cave, but it was not entirely the case.

When I arrived at Li Hongzhao's place, I found that the atmosphere in the entire Damengguan was relaxed, without any sense of oppression at all.

This was beyond his expectation.

I thought Li Hongzhao was investigating the people around him strictly and was interrogating them one by one, but it turned out that he had no intention of conducting a strict investigation at all.
